Supporting Safer School Environments

Clear, coordinated communication for emergencies and everyday school operations.

In today’s environment, school safety is more important than ever. A modern audio, tannoy and lockdown system ensures that staff and students can be alerted quickly and clearly in the event of an emergency.

At Fluent, we design and install school-wide communication systems that support safeguarding procedures, emergency response and preparation for evolving legislation such as Martyn’s Law.

Using a combination of speakers, control panels and network integration, staff can quickly communicate critical instructions across classrooms, corridors and outdoor areas at the press of a button.

School lockdown and tannoy systems can include:

  • Emergency lockdown alerts
  • Pre-recorded or live voice announcements
  • Classroom speaker systems
  • Zoned or whole-school messaging
  • Integration with telephony, IT or access control systems

Helping Schools Prepare for Martyn’s Law

Martyn’s Law, formally the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, is intended to improve preparedness and protective security at certain public premises and events. For education settings, clear communication, controlled access and well-rehearsed emergency procedures can all form part of a wider approach to keeping people safe.

Fluent’s lockdown and tannoy systems can support your school’s existing safeguarding and emergency response plans by helping staff communicate clear instructions quickly across classrooms, corridors and outdoor areas.
